Marty Nightengale - DJ. MC. Entertainer. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, he was responsive, advocated for our vision, and was incredibly kind throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, he did a fantastic job reading the room and playing songs that kept the dance floor packed, while also sticking closely to the playlist we had provided ahead of time. Marty worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure the day ran smoothly, and his professionalism and energy helped make our wedding day truly special. We couldn't recommend Marty highly enough for any couple looking for an amazing DJ and MC to bring their wedding to life.

Thanks Abigail! You and Andy are such a sweet couple and I was so happy to help make the day exactly what you were looking for! Plus, choosing the Glass Hill Venue in the Fall was absolutely gorgeous; I didn't realize how incredible Lynchburg, VA is this time of year!! I'm sure those photos are going to looking stunning. Cheers to adding "wedding anniversary" to your Fall-fun list, right next to your yearly Gilmore Girls marathon.. that I think Andy secretly loves ;)

Marty was incredible! He was very easy to work with, very professional, very thorough in his questions and preparation, his app was super easy to use, and he did regular check-ins leading up to the day. On the actual wedding day, he was so fun! We got many comments about how great our DJ was. I would highly recommend Marty to any couple!
Response from vendor•Oct 11, 2025
Thank you Jayne!! You & Tyler were so much fun; The Brawley Estate manager said he couldn't believe how packed the dance floor was the entire night! Plus, any time we can start and end the day with T. Swift is a good day ;) I hope you enjoy telling stories about your wedding day all the way to your 50th anniversary!

As planners, we have worked with a lot of DJs over the years, and Marty is genuinely hands-down one of the best. He’s talented, professional, and just such a good vibe to be around. From the start of the planning process to the last second of the party, he’s the kind of vendor who makes everything feel easy and FUN! Great communication, great energy, zero ego, and incredible DJ talent. We recently did a wedding together with 300 guests, multiple languages, and a big tented setup (so a very logistically intense day), and he kept the party going like it was nothing. The dance floor stayed packed, the transitions were seamless, and he understood the crowd. We’d recommend him a hundred times over, not just because he’s amazing at what he does, but because he’s the kind of person you’re happy to work and party alongside.

THANK YOU Carina! That means so much coming from such an incredible wedding planner! I'm so grateful to have been part of the amazing vendor team for Nick & Jeanne at The Historic Wakefield Barn ;) Cheers to many more magical weddings!

•Skylar B.•Sep 14, 2025
Marty is the best DJ ever!! He is such an amazing guy, he kept the hype up all night and made sure we had thought of every detail while planning so he knew exactly how to help all day! Audio and mics were amazing during the ceremony and don’t even get me started on the vibe of the party!! The best night of my life! I hope we get another excuse to party together again! HIGHLY recommend for any event but especially weddings!
Response from vendor•Sep 19, 2025
Hey Skylar, thank you so much! You & Tyler made me feel like I was part of the family from the first time we all met. Your wedding at Spring Grove in Appomattox, VA was something special and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it and to have met all your amazing friends & family. From the ceremony to the WILD dance party, everything about your day was about love and good vibes. If there’s ever another excuse to party together again you know I'm down for it! Wishing you a lifetime of dancing, happy memories, and Macklemore sing-a-longs ;) Cheers, Marty

Yes! You can be as specific or open as you'd like about your music preferences. I'm here to make this perfect for what you and your guests like.

I have an amazing app called Vibo that lets you easily import music from your own playlists (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Youtube), make specific song requests, view my recommended playlists to get ideas, and fill in wedding info so it's all in one place. Plus you can even invite your guests to make song requests on the app before the wedding.

I use wireless speakers that can be placed anywhere, and I use wireless lapel mini microphones for the officiant, and couples vows & guest readings. My speakers are waterproof and I'm not afraid of a little rain! My rule is "if you can stand outside in it, so can I".

Good sound equipment makes people want to dance more and I use top-quality sound equipment from RCF that immerses you in sound at any volume; you've haven't heard music sound this good before! For lighting I use modern tube/bar lights that are wireless so they can be placed anywhere, they're bright enough to make a party vibe but unlike traditional lighting they don't blind people or ruin the photos during the event. I also offer room up-lighting to enhance the look of any venue by coloring the walls with colored light. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.

Yes! I always setup a wireless microphone to use for any toasts/speeches.

I perform weddings in NC, VA, & SC. I charge a travel fee for weddings outside of the Raleigh-Chapel Hill-Durham areas of NC. Contact me with your wedding location & date for an accurate pricing estimate.

I customize the music to match the client and the event. I'm completely comfortable with a wide variety of music; Pop, Rap/Hip-Hop, Rock, EDM, Country, Latin, R&B, Motown, Funk, modern hits, early 2000's, 90's, 80's, 70's, etc. When it's dance time I do real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy going and I read the crowd to match the music to the event & guests. You deserve more than a budget Spotify DJ that doesn't care if your guests leave and the dance floor is empty. I'm also well versed in non-dance music for the times when you need good music at a non-dance energy for cocktail hour, dinner, or a welcome party.

Let me know your date & location, then I'll give you a pricing quote and answer any questions you have. If you'd like to move forward with booking I'll send you a contract to look over and e-sign. Then a 50% deposit is due within 30 days, I accept most major forms of payment like credit card, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, ACH transfer, and a mailed check. After I receive the deposit you're all set! I'll reach out to setup a time to chat on a phone call or video call to start getting a feel on your wedding vibe.

Room Up-lighting is a set of wireless lights that are placed on the floor and shoot a soft beam of colored light up the wall. I control these lights to match my dance floor lighting and can change them from a soft color during dinner and then changing along with the music colors during dancing. This is a great and inexpensive way to decorate a venue and really makes the room feel like a party. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.
